Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I afford a custom guitar?

Yes. Our guitars come in a variety of price points to accomadate you wherever you're at on your journey to a unique, heirloom instrument. Starting as low as $3,500.

Why do you have that extra sound hole in the side?

The side sound port provides a unique player experience in three ways:

First, it allows more volume to come directly to the player's ears. This is a huge plus if you're in a group setting, but also makes playing by yourself much more enjoyable, as the tonal quality is vastly increased.

Second, having two holes in a guitar opens up the bass tones, creating a more open vibration and reducing a muddy bass. It balances out the eq across the entire instrument range, which allows even smaller body guitars to have a powerful voice.

Third, it allows you to see the entire inside of your instrument. This not only makes retrieving picks a breeze (thank goodness!) but showcases the quality construction inside each and every Murphy Guitar.

Do you ship?

Yes. We ship guitars anywhere in the United States

How long does it take to make a guitar?

A typical guitar takes about 35-40 hours of work. This is spread out over several weeks to accomodate the various stages of construction, as well as finish dry and cure times.

How many guitars do you make a year?

I currently offer a very limited number of builds per year. This ensures that I am able to focus the proper quality and attention to detail at each and every stage of the process. If you are interested in reserving a spot please reach out to inquire about nearest availability.
